Excerpt from Chamber Music I would in that sweet bosom be (o sweet it is and fair it is I) Where no rude wind might visit me. Because of sad austerities I would in that sweet bosom be.

Excerpt from The Story of Chamber Music On the other side a high authority2 says: An ideally tuned scale is as much a dream as the philo sopher's stone, and no one who clearly understands the meaning Of Art wants it. And farther on he adds It will probably be a good many centuries before any new system is justified by such a mass of great artistic works as the one which the instincts Of our ancestors have gradually evolved for our advantage.

Excerpt from Pianoforte and Chamber Music This special value consists in part in the refined and unfailing musical skill with which the composers have handled their slender material; but more in the quality of the music itself. The great works of chamber mu sic, no matter how profound, speak in the language of intimacy. They show no signs of the need to impress or overwhelm an audience. Perhaps no truly great music does. But operas and even symphonies must be written with more or less consideration for external circumstances, whereas in the smaller forms, com posers seem to be concerned only with the musical inspiration which they f eel the desire to express. They speak to an audience of understanding friends, as it were, before whom they may reveal themselves with out thought of the effectiveness of their speech. They seem in them to have consulted only their ideals. They have taken for granted the sympathetic attention of their audience.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Chamber Music of Johannes Brahms The sketch of Brahms' life and character includes only such events as might reasonably have influenced his music. The analysis of the principal characteristics of his music is given with the full appreciation of the impossibility of demonstration. Brahms' complete works have been tabulated in groups, so arranged as to enable those wishing to per form them, to see at a glance which are adapted to the performers available. Following the tabulation is an attempt to point out the technical features of Brahms' music which distinguish it from that of other composers. This has been the most interesting part of the work. It is a subject as to some features of which all will probably agree. As to others, however, one may expect and hope for a delightful and stimulating difference of Opinion among persons whose views are the most respected. For the benefit of those wishing to make a further study of Brahms' life and works, a summary is given of the principal bibliography.

Book Description
Excerpt from Chamber Music in American Schools This is a study of chamber music, of the instruments used in playing it, of its social implications and of the part it can play in elementary and secondary schools. Since a fair test of a school sub jett may be made by noting the changes it is capable of producing in an individual, we may start by stating what a school child may reasonably be expected to gain from playing chamber music. In the following pages a large number of possible instrumental com himations are studied together with the music suitable to them. If we expose a child to music of this kind for a number of years, what will he have gained? Obviously we have given him another outlet, another way of expressing himself. Most schools provide many such channels. Among such outlets are creative writing, drawing and painting, engaging in crafts and the like. 'in a few schools children are taught to make music in small groups. In many schools they play and sing together in large groups, in chorus, orchestra, and band. The contribution which these larger groups make to individual development differs markedly from that made by participation in smaller groups. In the large chorus, each individual sings, but his voice blends with those of his fellows. He is not an isolated in dividual, but a participant in a group expression. The virtues of good chorus singers lie very largely in this willingness to merge themselves with the singing group, in the surrender of their musical will to that of the conductor. In the same way a good orchestral player accepts the conductor's conception of tempo, of shading. Of phrasing and, if he is a really effective player, forgets himself in the effort to realize the ideal of performance which the conductor is striving for. Such effort carries with it a feeling of identification with the group, of a common end which is its own reward. Expression in chamber music, however, is not a matter of masses but of individuals, and the kind of cooperation which it demands is of a freer more individual kind. Each instrument of the group has something to say in turn. While a good performance demands that each player subordinate himself at the right time.it also calls upon him to take the lead when his part has something of importance. In short, we may say that the emphasis in chamber music is rather on initiative and on individual intelligence while the larger groups depend to a greater extent on group cooperation.

Book Description
Excerpt from 1984-1985 Season Chamber Orchestra Your North Carolina Symphony Book Poppy written by Gliere between the First and Second World Wars. The ballet, which has a long and complicated plot, takes place in a Chinese seaport where a Russian ship is docked. During a celebration, sailors of many nationalities perform their countries' dances. The very last of these is done by Russian sailors, who dance a hopak, a vigorous dance performed in a squatting position with arms folded. It can make a person tired just watching it! The music begins with an allegro introduction, which builds with a long crescendo to a sudden silence. Then we hear the main theme growled out by the bassoons, cellos, basses, and timpani. There are twelve presentations of this theme before the piece is over. This form, called theme and variations, means that every time we hear the theme we can recognize it, although it is different in some way. See if you can describe the ways Gliere makes each variation different. After the twelfth variation there is an extra piece of music called a coda. Codas are what composers put at the ends of pieces to make them sound finished. The theme of the Russian Sailors' Dance is an old folk song with these words: Hey there! Little apple.

Book Description
Finally available, a high quality book of the original classic edition of Chamber Music. It was previously published by other bona fide publishers, and is now, after many years, back in print. This is a new and freshly published edition of this culturally important work by James Joyce, which is now, at last, again available to you. Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Chamber Music: I hear an army charging upon the land, And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees: Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand, Disdaining the reins, with fluttering ships, the charioteers. They cry unto the night their battle-name: I moan in sleep when I hear afar their whirling laughter. They cleave the gloom of dreams, a blinding flame, Clanging, clanging upon the heart as upon an anvil. They come shaking in triumph their long, green hair: They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore. My heart, have you no wisdom thus to despair? My love, my love, my love, why have you left me alone?
